As Ros says…

A bad gin and tonic is not good enough!
Having ordered a G&T in a local bar I was very disappointed with what I was served. It arrived in a toothbrush tumbler style glass, fresh from the dishwasher, still hot and rapidly melting the single ice cube. There was a very soggy bit of lemon from a dish of stale water, a shot of gin and a squirt of tonic from the bar hose. I knew that Gin deserved much better than this. And so the journey began. The next step was many Gin talks, promotions, courses on spirit making, distillery visits and of course lots and lots of tastings. As a result, Fordington Gin was born.

Ros has extensive knowledge of the world of gin and gives talks on the history and making of gin over the decades on a regular basis. See her video below for a taster…
